Malaysia may reduce dependence on Zii Jia at mixed team championship


Dip in form: Lee Zii Jia had a disappointing start to 2023 when he crashed out in the early rounds of the Malaysian Open, India Open and Indonesian Masters.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia plan to reduce their dependence on singles star Lee Zii Jia in the Asia Mixed Team Championships to be held in Dubai from Feb 14-19.

Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) singles coaching director Wong Choong Hann said Malaysia, who are fielding their strongest team, should also use the strengths of other players to get good results at the championships, which will be played at the Dubai Exhibition Centre.
